The Peru Extraordinary Series have been designed to also enjoy the stunning beauty of the Sacred Valley (between Cusco and Machu Picchu). The magnificent views of this blessed land has inspired us to design since 1978 many tour packages with overnight stay in the Sacred Valley so travelers can experience this spectacular land. The Sacred Valley is also considered the perfect location for a better acclimatization and to prevent altitude sickness. Although one overnight in Machu Picchu is included we encourage the travelers to stay a 2nd night to further appreciate the many activities in the area and to hike Huayna Picchu for an amazing “condor view” of the citadel. Another important feature of the Peru Extraordinary Series is the visit to an authentic Quechua Village to feel the way of life of the Inca's ancestors. The Inca himself was a noble Quechua. A meaningful experience! Read more…

This uniqueness of this tour series is that takes the travelers directly to the Sacred Valley upon their arrival in Cusco. This allows for easier adjustment to the high altitude because the Sacred Valley is at about 9,000 feet above sea level, a much lower altitude compare to Cusco at 11,200 feet above sea level. Another important aspect is that you follow the sequence of history. You will first visit important Archeological sites in Sacred Valley, Continue to Machu Picchu, the pinnacle of the Inca civilization; and last you will visit Cusco, where you will see the influence of the Spanish Conquistadors on the former capital of the Inca Empire. The day-by-day itineraries of the “Ancient Inca Passage” series are similar to the “Exploring Peru” series with one only difference. Since you will be arriving in Cusco and then immediately continuing to the Sacred Valley your Cusco City Tour will be moved to the afternoon of your last day in Cusco. Until these itineraries are published you can request the “Ancient Inca Passage” version of any Exploring Peru package, Discover Peru package or Peruvian Treasures package.
